I must ask forgiveness. I thought I had to play the washboard actually it's the washtub. I didn't know there was a differance. Sorry.

Greetings,
yes, if you have washboard abs you are a hunk. If you have washtub abs you are a Buri,
Cheers,
Buri

OK Daniel... this lady is for real. In college I played in an all girl Washboard band that had an actual washboard and washtub player. I played the spoons. The washboard is held on your lap and played with a thimble. Our washtub was inverted, had a hole in the middle through which a rope was secured with a knot. The other end was tied to a sawed-off broom stick. It was plucked much like a bass. You move your hand up and down the rope as it's pressed to the broom stick to play different "notes". We were awesome and entertained around the community at special events. Wish I had a picture to post. :)

Washboard, washtub... I really don't think it's that far off the original subject... that a woman within a conservative (I think I remember you saying) organization has asked a violinist to play a... well... funky instrument.

Regardless, have fun with it! And you simply MUST post pics.
